A lead surgeon, an assistant surgeon, and four female nurses were in the operating room performing surgery on He Butcher. The surgery started at two-thirty in the afternoon and lasted until six-thirty in the evening before the doors of the operating room were finally opened.
Li Lanfang hurriedly approached and asked, "Doctor, how is my husband?"
"Mrs. Li, your husband's surgery was very successful; you needn't worry."
The 500,000 yuan in medical expenses she had, a long duration of surgery had now almost cost two to three hundred thousand, plus last night's emergency treatment, suddenly amounted to over three hundred thousand.
"Will he need another surgery tomorrow?"
"Another surgery is required. This does not include the amputation surgery; you should make a decision soon."
By this calculation, her 500,000 yuan for medical expenses was far from suffice.
